Cuando empecé a hacer miniaturas, mi método de aprendizaje era el de “Ensayo y error”. No es que haya dejado de utilizarlo, pero al menos ahora cometo menos errores, hasta el punto de que es raro que esté atascada con una escena o con un problema mucho tiempo.
When I started making miniatures, my method of learning was "Trial and Error". I haven't stopped using it, but at least now, I make fewer mistakes, to the point of being unusual to be stuck with a scene or a problem long.
Sin embargo la escena que hoy os traigo me ha dado un montón de quebraderos de cabeza. La dejé varias veces y finalmente la he terminado con éxito este mes.
But the scene that I bring you today has given me a lot of headaches. I give it up several times and finally I have finished it successfully this month.
Para las paredes laterales y el suelo he utilizado unos tableros de MDF. Después he aplicado masilla plástica tapa-grietas con una plantilla para hacer los ladrillos.
Hice una lámpara utilizando alambre, unas piezas de bisutería, y tres microLEDs.

Para las paredes laterales y el suelo he utilizado unos tableros de MDF. Después he aplicado masilla plástica tapa-grietas con una plantilla para hacer los ladrillos.
Para la pared del fondo, la cual es inclinada y además lleva una ventana, he utilizado cartón pluma de 1 cm. Como el cartón se comba si se pone en contacto con algo húmedo, he aplicado la masilla tapa-grietas sobre un papel de acuarelas con la medida exacta de la pared para pegarlo a ella posteriormente.
Para que la masilla no se descascarille, he aplicado un par de capas de Alkil y después he pintado con colores rojizos.
For the lateral walls and the floor I used three MDF boards. Then, I applied plastic filler filler crack putty with a bricks template.
For the inclined wall, which has a window I used foam board 1 cm thick.
As the cardboard bend if it gets in contact with something wet, I applied filler crack putty with the bricks template on a watercolor paper with the accurate measurement of the wall to stick to it later.
For the putty not to crumble, I applied a couple of coats of Alkil ( lastic varnish) and then I painted with reddish colors.
Os muestro en estas fotografías las variaciones que esta habitación ha sufrido, fruto de las dudas, pues aunque la estructura estaba clara ya que quería hacer un pequeño estudio con el techo inclinado, lo que me ha dado tantos quebraderos de cabeza ha sido el aire de la estancia.
I show you here some variations of the room, result of doubts, because although the structure was clear and I wanted to do a small study with a sloping roof, the atmosphere has given me so many headaches.
Finaly, I painted the floor white and the bricks wall pink, light pink and green, and I made a white shelf.
El techo está hecho con cartón pluma y tiene cortado el hueco de tres claraboyas alineadas.
En la cara interior está forrado con madera de balsa y tiene un entramado de bigas.
En la cara exterior, lo he recubierto con unas falsas losas de pizarra que he utilizado en varias ocasiones y aquí podéis recordar cómo están hechas.
The roof is made with foam board and has cut the space of three skylights.
The inside surface is lined with balsa wood and has a framework of beams.
Outside, I have coated the surface with fake slate tiles, technique that I have used on several occasions, and here you can remember the process.

Por fuera he aplicado masilla de carpintero como si fuera revoque ajado por el tiempo.
Outside I applied sawdust plaster aged by the time.

Finalmente, he pintado el suelo de blanco y la pared de ladrillos con rosa fuerte, rosa pálido y verde, y sobre ella he puesto una estantería blanca.

He puesto un trozo de cartón corrugado para ocultar el interruptor de la luz. Esta pintado imitando uralita, y es un elemento que ya utilicé y expliqué en la escena “ Un baño de libro”
I put a piece of corrugated cardboard to hide the light switch. It is painted imitating uralita, and it is an element that I already used and explained in this scene.
